AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
Tell Maghzaliyah is an aceramic Neolithic site and so is outside the time period for the Ceramic Neolithic. The site does have some use of clay as a clay storage bin was found along with one sherd from a poorly fired pot. Also found was a cold hammered copper awl. Tell Maghzaliyah is compared to later Hassunan sites to highlight what tools and techniques continue to be used in the Ceramic Neolithic.
